Production – Hardware Mode
Main Scanning Page
Status Scanning Page
The reported machine status is directly visible on the main page. Whether fault, maintenance, pause or ready for operation.
Warnings
Your users are informed by notices and warning messages. In the event of real problems, the employee must confirm the message so that no information is lost. A negative tone is emitted on the device and the screen is colored.
Simple notifications disappear after a moment and the employee can continue working without interruption.
Status Scanning Page
Simple and intuitive navigation
After completing the action, simply go back to the previous page and continue where you left off.
New assign status page
By scanning a status, for example, a pane can be broken or a rack can be delivered without interacting with the touch screen. The scanner switches to the corresponding mode.
Fast Delivery
Need to deliver multiple racks? Previously, each status had to be assigned individually—still required for breakages. With Fast Delivery, you can now book multiple racks at once. The A+W Smart Companion adapts based on how you access the page: via UI or scanning. When scanning, the screen closes automatically after 5 seconds, allowing employees to keep their gloves on.
